Sharing because I'm having to change my plans at the last minute.My MacBook Pro originally passed the mock exam test.I decided to wipe it clean this morning to avoid issues on Tuesday with browsers, etc.Now it can't detect my CPU or connect through UDP/TCP port 80 or 443. I literally have a clean install with just the Guardian Browser and Chrome.I think there is an issue because I confirmed the ports were opened using: nc -zv + IP address or hostname + port number" (e.g., nc -zv www.synology.com 443 or nc -zv 10.17. xxx. xxx 5000).I've also changed every setting possible in the router and most importantly I have no issue on my desktop w/o any convoluted network settings.The laptop is a 2ghz intel quad core w/ 16GB of system RAM, 1.5GB video RAM, and MacOs Sequoia 15.3.1. I noticed the latest requirements say a 2.4ghz quad core CPU and mine is a 2.0ghz so maybe that is the root cause, but I don't recall seeing this on the page when I did the mock exam.This is the page I visited then through Google when we first got the software: https://ift.tt/qnKwmLR (no 2.4ghz requirement)This is the page I see now: https://ift.tt/1otLZ7k (Has 2.4ghz requirement).I'm giving up on this laptop so that I can keep studying instead of spending time on the phone with their support group. I am lucky enough to have the ability to use my desktop at home instead of getting a hotel room like I had planned.I am sharing this because it may happen to someone else on the exam day.If you have similar issues I suggest you just go buy a laptop at BestBuy and return it after the exam.Godspeed future counsels.
